Quaichs are a traditional Scottish drinking
cup, often a shared cup used as a sign of friendship in
greetings and farewells. Smaller quaichs would be used
for "A wee dram" of whisky, whilst the larger
quaichs would probably be used for ale. It was common
for travellers to carry their own quaich on their journeys.
Traditionally they would be made of wood, although they
developed a decorative and ceremonial useage and by the
late 17th century they were being made in metal, sometimes
in silver or even gold. All of our of Quaiches are made
and hand finished from lead free pewter in Sheffield,
England in the Edwin Blyde Factory.
